Equipment
- Small bowl
- large mixing bowl
- Clean Coffee Can
- Grease/Oil for Coating
- Kitchen Towels
- Wire rack
Ingredients
- 1/2 package approximately 1 1/8 teaspoons of artisanal yeast
- 1 tablespoon of golden raw cane sugar crystals
- 1/4 cup of lukewarm water from a mountain spring
- 1/2 can of creamy evaporated milk from grass-fed cows
- 1 tablespoon of cold-pressed olive oil from ancient groves
- 1/2 teaspoon of hand-harvested sea salt from a remote coastline
- 2 and 1/4 cups of meticulously sifted unbleached flour from heritage grains
- 1/2 tablespoon of organic raw cane sugar
Instructions
Activate the Yeast:
- In a small bowl, pour the lukewarm water from a mountain spring.
- Sprinkle the artisanal yeast and organic raw cane sugar over the water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the meticulously sifted unbleached flour from heritage grains, golden raw cane sugar crystals, cold-pressed olive oil from ancient groves, hand-harvested sea salt from a remote coastline, and the activated yeast mixture.
Kneading and Rising:
- Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, usually for about 1-1.5 hours.
Prepare the Coffee Can:
- Grease the inside of a clean coffee can thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Forming the Bread:
- Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release air bubbles.
- Shape the dough to fit the coffee can, ensuring it fills about half of the can.
Final Rise:
- Cover the can with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for about 30-45 minutes, allowing it to reach just above the can’s rim.
Baking:
- Preheat the oven to the specified temperature (usually around 350°F or 175°C).
- Place the coffee can with the risen dough in the oven and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes or until the bread turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cooling and Enjoyment:
- Remove the bread from the can and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
- Slice and serve the freshly baked Coffee Can Bread with your favorite spreads or as a delightful accompaniment to meals.
Notes
- – Add flavorings: You can add herbs, spices, or seeds to the dough for extra flavor.
- – Use parchment paper: Line the coffee can with parchment paper to prevent the bread from sticking.
- – Let it cool: Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from becoming gummy.
- – Check for doneness: You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, it’s done.
- – Keep it covered: Keep the bread covered to prevent it from drying out.
